Understanding Policy Changes: The Mixture Model of Politics offers a new theoretical and methodological approach to the study of policy changes.

This book presents Encounter Theory; an approach grounded in engagement with difference and the principle of nonviolent conflict transformation. It offers scholars, peacebuilders, and students a comprehensive way to understand and practice violence transformation by drawing on diverse frames, concepts, and pedagogies from multiple disciplines. Schmitz, Standish, and Sloan, who work across personal, interpersonal, community, and international contexts, aim to create a platform for addressing violence in society, culture, and the self in the twenty-first century.
